Overview
Escape the crowds of Times Square and explore a different side of Manhattan on this 2-hour small-group walking tour through the High Line, Chelsea, and the Meatpacking District—one of the most dramatically transformed areas of New York City.

From there, explore the trendy streets of the Meatpacking District and the vibrant Chelsea, neighborhoods known for their art galleries, restaurants, and striking modern architecture.
